I would suggest to continue talking with the counselors, but give her some one-on-one attention. It should lower the amount of attention needed if the teacher checks on her every so often. She may have things going on at home that cause her to act this way.

I think that I would have started with a conversation with the girl to see why the problem was happening and see if there were any resources I could provide. If it persisted I would inform the girl's parents about the disruptions. If the problem still pursued, that is when I'd involve school counselors.

Is the child have a rough time at home where she feels like no one is listening to her? Maybe explain to her that there is a time and a place to share personal stories, but now is not it. A kindergarten class I shadowed would have morning talks where each student was allowed to tell the class random personal information. It really helped get a lot of that energy out and it usually took no more than 8 minutes.

Having a one on one conversation with the student is a good start to see why she acts out the way she does and tell her if there is anything that you as a teacher can do to try and mask that unwanted behavior. It is also important to always keep parents updated on what goes on in the classroom and how their child is acting in the classroom.

I like that the counselor helped and continuing to see the counselor may be the fix to the behavior.

With my experience these children who call out for attention are either an only child or children with many siblings, regardless they are both cravings being the center of attention. I would genuinely explain how calling out is unkind to fellow classmates, explain you know that she is a quick thinker and has much to share, but other students may need more time to think of their responses and want to share and when she calls out she steals that opportunity for others which is not acceptable. In addition to privately talking to the student, I would implement a procedure for questioning and answering questions in the classroom and a rule about relevance to subject matter and enforce that storytelling can be done during lunchtime or after school and there isn't always time for those stories during the school day unless it is something one another can learn from and even then you must get teacher approval.

It is good that the child's behavior became more mild after talking with counselors. She may have things going on in her home life where she is not able to express her thoughts and ideas in her family. Maybe pull the student aside after class and give her a chance to talk about things she wishes to tell you.

I think getting administration and counselors involved is a great idea. Maybe even getting parents involved.

I would pull the student aside to talk to them about their behavior. Allow them the time to talk about their personal life and habits, but remind them that blurting out is not the time or place. If you could find daily time to talk to the student, then the calling out should decrease and student will be content with the time to talk one on one.

I would look into other resources for the student and inform her parents about her actions in class.

I would ignore the child untill class was over and pull her aside and explain what they are doing wrong

I think getting administration and counselors involved is a great idea. Maybe even getting parents involved.

Try giving the student one on one time when there is down time. To see if that reduces class out.

Maybe something is going on at home that is causing this issue? I would maybe get ahold of the parents and see if there is anything that is making this happen if not maybe speak with the parents and the staff at school to see what can be done. Possibly counseling in or outside of school.

A consequence should be enforced for the student because she is disrupting class time and prohibiting learning.

As educators, we must remember that fostering the social and emotional learning of our students is just as important as academic learning. While we shouldn’t allow calling out and disruptions in class, we should however question the reason for these behaviors. Based on the information, it seems like the child just wants to be heard. Depending on the age of the students, they should be given a specific time and platform during class to share anything that is on their mind. This can occur during circle time, or during a one-on-one discussion with the teacher. There is great value in active listening. By just listening and acknowledging, we can help our students to feel heard. We should never tell a student not to share personal information, but instead coach them about the appropriate times to share certain information. Sometimes, being able to relate personal experiences to their learning can help students’ understanding. Raising hands and waiting to be called upon should be reinforced. Additionally, journaling time could be a useful resource for students to be able to write out anything on their minds, while also practicing their writing skills.

I would stand closer to the student so they would be aware of my presence and then rethink their actions.

Isolation in the classroom, ignoring obnoxious behavior, or perhaps posing consequences for each offense.
